The weeks trade opened well to-day
with fair movement Of merchandise,
and prices generally firm.
Rice has a decided upward tendency,
owing to reports Of great injury to the
Louisiana crop,
COTTON.
Weather conditions during June have
been strikingly similar over the entire
cotton belt. This is not usual, and has
not at all events occurred during the last
three years. The temperature has been
favorable to the growth of the plant, the
rain fall Just about sufficient TO stimulate
a healthy growth and permit of thorough
cultivation. Such favorable conditions
have of course overcome most of the
/ baCkWardness of the plants, where such
was the case owing to retarding causes
in the spring, and at the close Of the
month the growth of the weed was up to
the sTuI&ge, with an excellent start for
fruitege. Forming and blooming are re
ported as progressing unusually well,
there being no complaints on this score
from any portion of the belt.
The field work done in this crop has
been exceptionally efficient, the dry
weather sfording ample opportunity, and
the few exceptions reporting grass at
close of May have been pretty well
cleaned.
The month of June, therefore, closed
upon clean fields, very good stand, 4
healthy and, one might say, vigorous
plant that had begun the process Of fruit
ing in NEST satisfactory manner. No
where could the situation be called Criti-
cal, though apprehensions were expressed
Of the effects Of abnormal rainfall in July
upon the fruit.
Insect ravages have been felt to some
extent east of the Mississippi river, where
the the cool nights for time fostered
lice, but their stay was not protracted,
and the damage inflicted has not been
very serious. There has been no loss to
speak Of from this cause west of the Mis-
sissippi. Worms have appeared in q few
places, but have amounted to nothing
thus far Cotton World.

Raising GladiOIus in Water.

The French have practiced raising
the gladiolus in vases of water, after
the manner of hyacinths, and found it
successful. The bulbs are said to bloom
in less than half the time usually re-
quired when raised in the open ground.
There is difference in the way the
several varieties submit to this treat
ment; those with red flowers or shades
of red as the foundation color develop
weaker root system, and the roots are
more liable to decay, and their stems
develop with more difficulty than the
varieties with white flowers or founda-
ton of white. The culture of the
gladiOlus in this manner is said to adj
nit of its production very early in the
season, as it can be started by the mid
die of January. By starting the bulbs at
intervals through the winter and spring
up to the time they can be planted in
the open air, and again commencing
the latter part of summer, continuous
supply of the flowers can be obtained
from early spring to the end of autumn.
1t will be found, probably, that the
bulbs can be as successfully doomed in
moist moss or sphagnum, as hyacinths
are sometimes treated, and this course,
under some circumstances, will be
preferable Vick'S Magazine.

Schools for Homework.

If a school must be endowed to teach
girls what their mothers neglected TO
teach them, then preach to the moth
ers. We ought to blush for our neglect
if we cannot make home the dearest
spot on earth, and teach them every
branch of housekeeping and home
keeping. While this new school is be-
ing founded let us haste to forestall
its need for our growing girls by using
the power in our own hands and make
them Independent. 1t is true Mary
Lyon founded school where house
work was required one hour each day.
but, as one of its most enthusiastic pu-
pills, | can testify that homework was
and is not taught in the seminary, ex-
cept in each ones specified part. One
might 90 through the whole course
and not chance to cook a meal or sweep
a floor. The institution is one of the
noblest in the world, but it does not
claim to teach homework. The moth
ers must teach that and spare not their
daughters. But if the girls will leave
the home-nest the chances are that
more money is needed to support the
home, and they are only doing their
duty as bread-winners. As such they
have right to their place anywhere,
even in the village factory .-SiSter Ida.

Let Them Sleep.

a friend and neighbor adheres to a
practice with his children which is
worthy of attention. He never, so far
as can learn, allows one of his chill
dren to be awakened. There are sew
eral, ranging in age from eight to six
teen years. Their habits in regard to
sleep are very different, and yet he
manages to have them all at the break
fast-table. Each one has a different
time for retiring, and this time has been
found in an experimental way. The
children 90 to bed at such hours as may
be necessary in order to have them all
awake, of their own accord, in season to
dress for breakfast. The idea is based
upon good physiological reasoning. 1t
is not best for persons to be awakened
in the morning until they have had
sleep enough. 1t is also best in the
majority of cases to have the waking
gradual and natural. Some persons do
not have full control of their faculties
for many minutes after waking

Rubbing the Face.

| know something much better than
painting for preserving youthful APP
pearance in the face. 1t is very sim
pie, and was suggested by the massage
treatment for removing superfluous
flesh. In this case the object is, in a
measure, to restore wasted flesh, or
rather to prevent waste. Wrinkles,
the surest mark of advancing age and
the hardest to eradicate or conceal, are
due to the gradual wearing away of
flesh underneath the cuticle. Why
does it wear away? Because the facial
muscles have either too little or the
wrong kind of exercise. 1t will be OBJ
served that wrinkles usually take a
downward course. This is due to the
wrong kind of exercise. What exer-
else? Why, the washing and wiping of
the face, to be sure. Not that | am
going to advocate the discontinuance
of this salutary and wholesome eXer-
else; simply suggest a change in the
method. Instead of rubbing the face
down in washing and wiping always
rub upward. This will have the effect
of counteracting the influence of the
flesh to depart from under the cuticle,
and will keep the face free from wrin-
kles. York Letter.

Starting Fair.

In entering any new field of labor it
is well to have fair understanding in
the start. We expect to print in these
columns opinions on a good many diff
ferent matters, and quite often they
may not reflect the editors ideas on
these matters. 1t would be a curious
newspaper which should contain only
those ideas held by the editor and com
munications from only those who agree
with him. 1t will be our aim to give
the various ideas and opinions held on
such topics as properly belong in these
columns which are tersely and forcibly
expressed, without much regard to
whether they meet the EDITORS ideas or
not. And that an article, either clipped
or contributed, appears without edito-
rial comment will be no indication
that the editor either approves or con-
dennis its sentiments. Such articles
will be given proper credit and must
stand on their merits
Vermont farmers are a reading,
thinking, reasoning class, capable of
forming their own opinions, and it will
be our aim to give to our readers such
opinions and information on subjects
interesting to them-on all sides, all
around those subjects-as shall he pre-
scented in the cearest and most forci-
BILE manner. OF course the editor will
have ideas and opinions on various sub
iects which he may desire to lay before
his readers, and will aim to present
them in such a manner as to make his
meaning clear and leave small ground
for misunderstanding. 1t will be our
aim to treat the opinions of others
with the respect they deserve, as often
quite as likely to be correct as those
we hold.
Once more we respectfully ask our
readers to send to us the results of
their years of experience, wide and va
ried, on farm or in household, and not
hold back for the reason that they are
not used to writing. The EDITORS bust
ness is to give such assistance as he
can to such correspondents, and if the
compositors can make out the EDITORS
copy they will get along well enough
with contributors. Send in your letters.
